Is it possible to learn a language by talking to those who are also learning it?
Yes, it's even easier until one reaches a B2 level. Then one should also talk to native speakers.
Can språkcafés replace lessons?
No, in lessons we learn new information and in språkcafés we practice using it.
Shouldn't someone correct me when speaking?
Constant correction prevents you from achieving fluency, which is the point of språkcafés. Your brain will correct mistakes over time as you learn more in the lessons.
Is it too early to start with språkcafés at A1 level?
Yes, because one still doesn't have the vocabulary and grammar needed to hold a conversation. A2 is the best level to start with.
